The tourist visa support can be issued the earliest 45 days before your planned trip. You can apply for a tourist visa that's valid for 1 month, and you will be able to travel anytime within this time span. 4. No, not fixed. If you want to allow yourself a bigger timespan, you can apply for a business visa support (it's just a name -- you don't need to have a business in Russia). These visas provide more flexibility, and you can apply for a 3-month double entry, for example. The only problem is that most probably the Russian consulate will require an original invitation, so it's better to get it before you start traveling. You can also get a TELEX. By the way, if you're in Turkey, there's a ferry to south Russia -- see http://waytorussia.net/Transport/International/Ferry.html for more info.
